my husband and i have a blended family. he has 2 girls, one of whom is 12, the other is 10. we have been having serious problems for a few months now. the girls mom has not really been in their lives for about 6 years, so i have basically co-parented these kids for 6 1/2 years now. the problem is that the 12 year old has been acting out by lying, sneaking, talking back and being very disrespectful to me. when i discipline her, she runs to my mother and law, or she will call her real mom, and say that ive been being mean, and turning everyone against me. my marriage is suffering greatly, because everyone takes the girls sides, including my husband. the 12 year old is getting so out of control, that i just feel like giving up most days and calling it quits with my marriage. my husband told me he wanted a divorce back in july because of a situation that was blown out of proportion. but i hung in there and convinced him that we should work it out. i am still unhappy, and so is he. help!!
